All Aboard: Hold on Tight in the Crazy Train for One
The train slid across the tracks and groaned with increasing acceleration. Déjà vu flushes through me and my rapidly pulsating blood keeps time with the motion, faster, faster, faster. I am floating, but grounded, and awaken startled by the bouncing and the screams.

Finding my Mama in an MRI Machine. Top Story - August 2022.
Today I participated in a brain injury research study conducted by a local health sciences university. Parts of it were fascinating (I experienced virtual reality for the first time) and other parts were exhausting (moving items around on a computer screen). But the best part, by far?

Opportunity is also a kind of strength
When I returned home at the end of the month, my aunt excitedly told me one thing during the family reunion dinner: Cousin Hui 'er was admitted to the experimental primary school in the county town with the best scores in both the interview and the written test at the end of the month. She is now taking training in a refresher school and will be ready to start her job in the summer. I congratulated her in public, and promised to visit my cousin at the refresher school in a couple of days, along with a few books of lectures by famous teachers, which I believed would be of great benefit to her growth. After listening to the aunt is happy from ear to ear, all kinds of fruits and vegetables on the table to my plate clip, lest I do not use the chopsticks.

Genito pelvic pain or penetration disorder is a sexual dysfunctional disorder in females. Genito pelvic pain or penetration disorder, shortly called GPPPD, is when you experience persistent pain during sexual intercourse.

The Therapy Technique that Allowed me to Leave the ER
A few years ago, I came down with a stomach bug that freaked me out. I had been in the bathroom so many times that I’d started to get dizzy and felt myself beginning to lose consciousness, and thinking that’s not how I wanted to be found, I dialed 911.

The spirit of self-help
Live a day, is a blessing, we should cherish. When I cry that I have no shoes to wear, I find someone who has no feet. 2. It is better to forgive others than for others to forgive you.

Pillows, Comfort Objects, and the Elephant in the Room. Top Story - July 2022.
At my last counseling session, I asked my counselor for a throw pillow perched on a chair. As she handed it over, she called it her "elephant in the room" pillow, so clients can acknowledge hard issues in their lives. The elephant pillow is one large blob with flappy ears and a stuffed trunk. It has soft fabric that's soothing to rub too.

Should I Take an Antidepressant?
I am by no means and expert. I'm just an advocate trying to start a conversation. I can only share the knowledge I have through experience. It's important to understand which type of depression you have before you decide which treatment option is best for you, in your particular situation. Everyone is different. Everyone responds differently to each individual pharmaceutical option.
